In conclusion, consumption of the synbiotic bread for 8 weeks among patients with T2DM had beneficial effects on plasma NO and MDA levels; however, it did not affect plasma TAC, GSH, catalase levels, serum liver enzymes, calcium, iron, magnesium levels, and blood pressure.
Febuxostat (BF) is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor that has been used to treat chronic gout. FB exhibits an anti-inflammatory effect. In the present study, the radioprotective effect of BF was investigated against genotoxicity induced by ionizing radiation (IR) in healthy human lymphocytes. Peripheral blood samples were treated with BF at various concentrations for 3 h. Then, the whole blood samples were exposed to IR at a dose of 1.5 Gy. Lymphocytes were cultured to determine the frequency of micronuclei in binucleated lymphocytes. The frequency of micronuclei was significantly lower in human lymphocytes that were exposed to IR and treated with BF than in irradiated lymphocytes without BF treatment. The maximum radioprotection as decreasing in the frequency of micronuclei was observed at 100 μM of BF treatment (43% decrease). The anti-inflammatory property is probably involved in the mechanism of FB exerting radioprotective effect in human lymphocytes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
